You can be proud of a result while remaining honest about the help it took.

Pride in a result and honesty about its origins can sit together, though the usual story of achievement pretends otherwise. Almost everything worth doing involved somebody covering for you, teaching you, funding you or simply keeping the rest of life running while you concentrated. Naming those people does not shrink your part; it describes the actual shape of what happened. Solo versions of success are edits, not records.

When you next talk about something you did well, include one person who made it possible. Say it in front of them if you can.
